The Location Of The 3D Printers In Sons Of The Forest

First 3D Printer Location

The most accessible 3D printers location is indicated on the map depicted above. It is situated in a cave on the western side of the island, between the ocean and the snowy mountains, and will be designated by a flashing green marker on your mini-map.

Upon reaching the green marker on your map, keep an eye out for an old and overgrown golf cart near the entrance of the cave. This is an indication that you're in the right location.

Proceed into the dark tunnel that leads to an underground bunker.

At the end of the initial corridor, you'll come across a small room containing the 3D printer, a sleeping bag for resting, and several resources such as Printer Ink, which is a crucial material required for crafting 3D printed items. If you're interested in printing a Flask for carrying water, it will cost you 100ml of Printer Ink to craft.

Second 3D Printer Location

Getting to this 3D printer is more challenging as you'll need to obtain a shovel to access it.

The 3D printer is located at a Point of Interest, specifically the dig site situated in the northwestern region of the island. We've marked this location on the map below for your reference.
